Yorkie's Primitives: So Far

So Far

Here's what I have finished so far on my fall yard decor. I love the way it looks so far.
I got an old fence from my daughter's farm and cut it in half and screwed it to my tree.
Then I cut a pumpkin out of beadboard and added a crow to it and screwed it to one side of the fence. Today I added a gourd that I cout out of plywood to the other side of the fence. I also made a wood scarecrow from The Olde Country Cupboard from plywood and screwed it to the tree right above the fence. I have a pot of mums on each side of my hay,(that I have to repot)LOL. And now I have a small wood wheelbarrow in front of the hay. I can't decide what to put in it??? I have straw that I am going to put in it but does anyone have any ideas on what to put in the hay? I have some small gourds but what else can I add? See what you think and give me some ideas!

TheCrankyCrow said...: What a fun display!! So love your woodens!!! As for the wheelbarrow....I think I might be closer than Carmen, so you can just drop it by here.... ;o) Seriously sweet - I'd fill 'er up with some straw or hay and lots of orange pumpkins and gourds.....And I'd put some lights in it for at night.....Then, all you'd be missing is a little black cat to poke in the ground next to it!! Can't wait to see it all done up....Happy Tuesday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin; October 18, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Firecracker Kid said...: Hi Valerie, Looks great so far.
How about making a body outta old clothes and set it under the scarecrow head. Would look neat.
Of course you could put pumpkins in the wagon with some leaves :-)

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.
I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.
I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.
I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.
And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.
I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
